Dislike! The scam Bertman was pulling with the baseball camp after he became AD, was not only sleazy it set LSU baseball back, because we ended up with Smoke instead of a better coach.

I thought it was state law that state facilities could not be named after living persons?

This was because we were spending too much $ removing the names after they went to prison.

for a second I was worried they were going to drop the name alex box, but then I realized they are just renaming the field. While the official title may be skip bertman field at alex box stadium I will still only call it alex box stadium but a good honor to skip none the less.

Other than my universal objection to naming things like buildings after people who are still alive, this seems pretty perfect. I mean, who else could you choose? Wally Pontiff, maybe?

I was thinking Bertman-Box Stadium or Box-Bertman Stadium. Either is appropriate and Skip is certainly worthy to share in the stadium name distinction. Without Skip we probably do not have the quality facilities, five national championships (could make a case for all six due to his legacy), national following, and unabashed love in Omaha for the Tigers.
